Chapter 374 Is This University a Joke?

When the competition committee gave [Topic A] to all the participating college teams, the players of the 34 college teams were ready for it.

"This question is not difficult."

After listening to Chen Jun's analysis, Xu Bin also looked at the question himself, and then quickly began to write a program to answer the question.

Everything seems to be going well.

Xu Bin's fingers danced on the computer keyboard at an extremely fast speed. He almost opened his eyes and didn't need to look at anything, he could write program codes based on what was in his mind.

In Xu Bin's view, answering this question is like having a fixed formula, but there may be some confusion on the way of completing the formula.

But Xu Bin's judgment on these confusing phenomena is very accurate, and there are two people around Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen to analyze this [question A] in an all-round way.

Therefore, Xu Bin's way of answering the question must be completely unquestionable.

Moreover.

This [question A] is the easiest question among all the questions in this ACM competition. If it can't be answered or the answer is wrong, it will be a bit funny.

About ten minutes passed.

Xu Bin is still in the final stage of answering questions.

At this time, in the arena, the competition committee has not announced that a college has successfully answered the questions, and everyone is busy answering the questions.

beep!

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the arena.

Then, in the field broadcast, the competition committee announced the first university to answer [question A].

"Congratulations to St. Petersburg State University for successfully solving [question A]. It took seconds to become the first team to answer [question A], congratulations!"

Following the broadcast announced by the competition committee, a balloon with the sign "FIRST-PROBLEM-SOLVED" was suddenly raised at the place where the St. Petersburg State University team was located.

It took a few seconds to solve [Problem A], which can be said to have put a lot of pressure on other college teams.

However, Xu Bin did not panic at all.

He knew very well that if he panicked a little, he would waste his time solving this [question A].

[Question A] The time given by the competition committee is to solve it within 30 minutes at the fastest speed. After all, the whole game will take 5 hours and at least seven questions, which means that each question has its own time. limit.

If the program problem cannot be solved within the stipulated 30 minutes, then the result of the first problem may not be obtained, and basically it will be announced that it has missed the championship.

That is to say.

If you want to win the championship of the ACM competition, not only do you need to answer every question correctly, but you also need to spend as little time as possible as efficiently as possible.

The team that solves all the questions with the least time will win the championship.

After St. Petersburg State University was the first to solve [Problem A] in seconds, the participating teams from some universities were very calm like Xu Bin.

Some college teams also panicked.

"I buy Karma, so fast?"

"This......"

"St Petersburg State University is really amazing,

It is indeed a champion university that has won many ACMs! "

"God, seconds, this is too scary."

These college teams, who have already begun to panic, are already a little desperate.

Because for them, it is really difficult to compete with St. Petersburg State University.

He took the lead on the first question, and if he wanted to catch up with every question that followed, it wasn't that easy.

About two minutes later, the competition committee announced that the second college that submitted the answer to the question was judged to be AC, which means pass.

"The second college to pass [Title A] is: Caltech, in seconds."

The strength of Caltech University from the Eagle Sauce Country is unquestionable, and it became the second college team to solve [Problem A].

"Director Xu, how long do we need?"

Chen Jun looked at Director Xu Bin Xu, who was seriously writing code to answer the question, and was very curious.

"Come on, it's the first time to participate in the competition, you may be a little handicapped, and the speed can't keep up for the time being. It's good to get familiar with it."

Xu Bin replied.

The reason why he didn't solve [Problem A] quickly was not because [Problem A] was difficult, but because Xu Bin was on the stage of this ACM competition for the first time. And the environment will cause Xu Bin's problem-solving speed to be slower.

But as long as you get used to it quickly and enter the state, this kind of problem will be solved easily.

beep!

"Haicheng Jiaotong University passed [topic A] in seconds!"

beep!

"Moscow State University passed [question A] in seconds!"

hiss!

This can't help but let the audience take a breath. Unexpectedly, there is only 2 seconds difference between Haicheng Jiaotong University in Xia State and Moscow State University in Mao Xiong State.

These two universities are also well-known universities that have won the championship in the ACM competition.

Xu Bin basically does not pay attention to outside information, and is immersed in the process of answering [question A].

Gradually, Xu Bin found the feeling of indulging in silky smoothness.

"submit!"

From the moment Xu Bin clicks submit, it means that the time for Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to answer [question A] is suspended. If the judges of the competition committee pass the judgment, the time of submission is the time it takes for Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to answer the question.

If you answer the question incorrectly, you will be called back by the judges, and there will be a chance to continue answering the question again, and this time will continue to be connected to the previous answering time.

Soon, Xu Bin's computer received feedback from the jury team of the competition committee - AC!

That means pass!

"Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences passed [topic A] in seconds!"

With the sound of the broadcast in the center of the arena, Ding Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this result.

Because Xu Bin and the others participated in ACM for the first time, nervousness and other factors may cause the answering speed to be slower.

But it was not as slow as imagined. Compared with the ace-level college teams such as Haicheng Jiaotong University and Moscow State University, it was about 20 seconds slower.

Compared to St. Petersburg State University, which was the first to answer [question A], it was less than five minutes behind.

These are all opportunities to catch up later, so Ding Yue will not be so pessimistic.

For his good brother Xu Bin, Ding Yue should treat him with an optimistic and confident attitude, otherwise, the more nervous he is, the more likely he is to be disappointed.

"Principal Ding, what is the level of our time in seconds?"

Wen Ruohan, the secretary on the side, didn't know much about the rules and results of the competition. Seeing that he passed the first course [question A] of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and the time-consuming results came out, he asked Principal Ding curiously. .

"Above-middle level." Ding Yue glanced at Wen Ruohan and replied with a smile.

"That is to say, with the following questions, there is a chance to catch up with time, right?" After Huang Youjie heard the words, he was still full of expectations for the final result.

At least it was not completely thrown off on the first question, and thus missed the championship.

"Well yes, generally speaking, if it exceeds 20 minutes, it will be a bit difficult to catch up later. If it exceeds 25 minutes, there is basically no drama. After all, the time for a topic is basically about 30 minutes. The more difficult ones might have an hour."

Ding Yue nodded and briefly explained to Lao Huang and Wen Ruohan.

"The University of Cape Town answers [question A] - WA!"

Suddenly, a report from the competition committee judges came from the center of the arena, and there was the first university that answered [question A] incorrectly.

"The University of Cape Town? The one in Africa?" Ding Yuechu felt familiar when he heard the name of the university.

At this time, Huang Youjie nodded and said, "The university in South Africa seems to be quite powerful. It is still a member of the World University Alliance."

"How can you even give the wrong answer to the first question [question A]." Wen Ruohan muttered curiously.

For the majority of live audiences and those who watch the competition through other online channels, the first question of the ACM competition, that is, [Question A] is obviously the least difficult, so it is impossible to solve such a question, right?

Most of the participating college teams solved this problem in about 20 minutes.

Only the University of Cape Town from South Africa actually answered this question incorrectly, and the final time exceeded 30 minutes.

This also means that the University of Cape Town in South Africa has almost become the first university to be clearly eliminated.

Because they didn't get any grades on the first question, even if they wanted to catch up later, it would be more difficult.

However, even though the University of Cape Town team answered [question A] incorrectly, they could continue to participate and solve each of the following questions.

The ACM competition system does not have rules such as elimination, that is, timing, correct and incorrect answers, or other special circumstances. Every college has the right to participate in the answer to all questions throughout the competition.

Of course, in fact, colleges and universities that have not solved [Question A] at this time have another option, which is to leave the field directly.

But the University of Cape Town obviously will not choose this way. Instead of leaving the field, it is better to continue to answer every question that follows, although at this moment, it has basically missed the championship.

Because it would be a bit embarrassing to leave the venue directly.

"The computer major at the University of Cape Town doesn't seem to be an ace major, right?" Huang Youjie muttered.

"But even so, this [question A] was answered correctly by the other 33 college teams. Only the University of Cape Town answered the question incorrectly, which is outrageous. I feel that the University of Cape Town may be joking."

Ding Yue couldn't help but jokingly said.

Is it not outrageous enough to be directly planted on [Title A]?

Half an hour has passed since the start of the competition, and the time given by the competition committee for the first topic has ended.

Next, it means that [Title B] is about to appear.

The difficulty will be even higher.

"From now on, the competition committee will provide [question B] for the participating teams of various colleges and universities, and the participating teams can complete the answer within 30 minutes at most!"

With the announcement of the competition committee, [Title B] officially appeared.

Obviously [question B] is not difficult for those top-ranked and famous college teams, and they naturally have to challenge the last two or three questions.

Through observation, Ding Yue saw that whether it was several participating universities in Maoxiong Country, or a few universities in Eagle Sauce Country, or several universities in Europe, when faced with [Question B], they basically showed their state. Just no pressure.

Of course.

For Xia Guo's participating teams, Haicheng Jiaotong University also has no pressure. [Question B] is indeed relatively simple for them.

Ding Yue didn't know what was going on at Northwestern University of Science and Technology, because Ding Yue saw the three members of their Northwestern University of Science and Technology team, his expression was always frozen, and he looked a little nervous.

In the end, Ding Yue still set his sights on the competition area of ​​his Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. He watched Xu Bin, Chen Jun, and Ouyang Chen with relaxed expressions, not nervous at all, and had already begun to solve this problem skillfully [question B] ].

Chen Jun analyzed the [topic B], Ouyang Chen assisted Chen Jun, and then Xu Bin wrote the problem-solving program based on the [topic] analyzed by Chen Jun.

The whole process was very smooth, and Xu Bin gradually entered the state because of the first question.

therefore.

Now Xu Bin has almost mastered the number of ways to solve problems by typing code programs. Once he is proficient, it is time to spend time with other colleges and universities.

"University of Cape Town submits [question B] problem solving program, WA!"

Suddenly, about eight or nine minutes later, the announcement of the competition committee sounded in the arena.

The University of Cape Town actually submitted the problem-solving program for [Problem B] in less than ten minutes, and the result was still WA! That is wrong!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"What is the University of Cape Town doing?"

"Wrong answer again?"

"I understand, the University of Cape Town is here to join in the fun!"

"Omg, what happened to the team from the University of Cape Town?"

"It's a pity that the University of Cape Town should have missed out on this ACM competition champion."

Netizens who are following the ACM competition at home and abroad feel a little "funny" about the performance of the University of Cape Town in [Topic A] and [Topic B].

"Brother Yue, for sure, the University of Cape Town is here to laugh, hahahaha!" Huang Youjie couldn't help laughing.

Ding Yueda was a little more careful and looked at the three players of the University of Cape Town team.

The three contestants were all very frustrated and annoyed after learning that the submitted program for answering the question was wrong.

It can be seen that they don't seem to be here to play.

But really...

Strength is not enough!

"Old Huang, maybe it's because of their limited strength. As far as I know, the computer major of the University of Cape Town is really not very good. They can get the qualifications for this ACM competition. I think it should be Cape Town. The reputation of the University of London is relatively large in Africa, and there is really nothing better to recommend.”

Ding Yue said rationally, Huang said.

"Brother Yue, it seems reasonable for you to say this. From [question A] to [question B], it can be seen that their strength is very average, I still hope that Abin and the others can quickly solve this [question B] Bar."

beep!

"Congratulations......"

Just when Huang Youjie's voice fell, the first college team to solve [question B] was born.
